Sure is purty. You're right to think it's too good.....cos it's too good!

My problem with stuff like that is its pretty enough to buy and love wearing just because its so damn nice regardless of how original it is. I've got a couple of non-original pieces I wear just because they look good.

So, regardless of originality (which I'm not qualified to comment on) you will have to decide if you like it enough to buy anyway.

assuming the price is right.

... as long as you accept that it doesn't carry the dial it was born with. And has had its hair cut at least once (quite short)...

Redialed and polished - but nice looking and wearable as a daily driver if the price is cheap enough. Ooooooo, shiny!

Yea indeed did toy with the thoughts of just getting for the fun of it, at least the movement looks legit though do not worth much what he is looking at for the overall watch... but somehow glad he killed my desire by not shipping to my destination

Seller claims the dial is original though... oh well...

To his way of thinking, it is the original dial - the slab of metal, not the paint. It's eBay semantics.

I’m not so quick to write this one off as a redial yet.

However, the pictures lack detail, so can’t confirm as original either.

All I can say is that if it is cheap, it’s a nice watch.

Photos that are sharp and in focus.

Price would need to be under $350 to be “cheap”.

I’m not entirely familiar with the fonts of 30t2 dials but I’m not sure if I see any signs of redial here.

I did see it on auction but case was too terrible so I passed on it.
